1978 International Scout II

The Scout first appeared in 1960, six years before the Ford Bronco and 7
before the Chevy K/5 Blazer. By the late sixties, these three were big
competitors in the SUV market. The Scout II arrived in 1971, and updated it
to better compete with the larger and more comfortable Blazer. It
remained basically unchanged until 1980, the last year for Scouts, when it gained rectangular headlights. This heavily rotted and patina'd '78 still wears its original side stripes.
